Introduction

The Presumptive Taxation System (PTS) offers a simplified approach to income tax filing, allowing small businesses and professionals to save time and effort. By adopting this scheme, individuals can estimate their income based on a predetermined percentage of their turnover or receipts, eliminating the need for maintaining detailed books of account. This article explores the concept of presumptive taxation, its benefits, eligibility criteria, and the process of registering for income tax returns under this scheme.

What is Presumptive Tax Scheme?

Presumptive Taxation System operates on the premise that income can be measured on an expected basis rather than the actual income earned. Instead of maintaining daily books of account, individuals can choose to claim revenue at a specified rate, simplifying the tax filing process. The Income-Tax Act, 1961, specifies various presumptive taxation schemes, including Section 44AD, Section 44ADA, Section 44AE, Section 44BB, and Section 44BBB, catering to different categories of taxpayers.
